Referring to Secondary Material within the DatabaseIf the database record provides a text-heavy transcription
of materials (e.g. anecdotal comments, publishing correspondence,
reviews), it is advisable to use the term ‘cited’; if
the record provides a standardised summary of information (e.g.
newspaper advertisements, contemporary library catalogues, ledger
entries/advertising accounts, subscription lists), the preferred
term is ‘given’.

Reviews
of the novel in the Flowers of Literature and Monthly
Review are cited in ‘Contemporary Reviews’ for
The Author and the Two Comedians (1802), DBF:
1802A001.

Subscription ListsThe
list of subscribers (pp. [ii]–iv) is headed by ‘The
Right Hon. the Earl of Abergavenny’; given in ‘Subscription
Lists’ for C. D. L. Lambert’s The Adventures of
Cooroo (1805), DBF: 1805A046.

Quotations from Secondary MaterialIt is recommended
that users should directly consult the original source for longer
quotations from printed books and for all quotations from manuscript
materials. In all such cases, the original source should be clearly
cited, as well as permissions sought as appropriate; it would be
appreciated if a reference to British Fiction, 1800–1829
were also provided in a citation.
